The Cannes Film Festival is more than a chance to snag crepes with Harrison Ford, it's also a great opportunity to catch early editions of movie posters in the various trade mags handed out on-scene.
Below, check out posters from Nicolas Cage's recently announced "Bad Lieutenant" remake, the interesting-looking "Brooklyn's Finest" from Training Day" helmer Antoine Fuqua and starring Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes, rom-com "The Rebound" from Catherine Zeta-Jones and Justin Bartha, and Mariah Carey's "Tennessee." And stay tuned for more first-looks throughout the day.

It's been called one of the most violent comic books ever created, and now Frank Miller's "Hard Boiled" may finally be seeing its way to the big screen.
At one time developed as a starring vehicle for Nicolas Cage with none other than David Fincher directing, MTV News can exclusively reveal that the acclaimed three-issue miniseries is once again inching closer to a Hollywood reality, this time under the tutelage of "Spirit" producer Deborah Del Prete.
"We're talking about [it]," Miller declared to us at NY Comic Con. "I've got a really unusual way I want to do it." Read more...
One of the best parts of being an entertainment journalist is getting a vote in the annual Golden Raspberry Awards, and this year's nominees once again offer a welcome opportunity to strike back at all the really, really bad movies we had to sit through in the past year.
The 28th annual nominations are led by free-falling film star Lindsay Lohan, whose "I Know Who Killed Me" landed her nominations as both Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple (since she played twins in the flick). Topping her, however, is Eddie Murphy in "Norbit," nominated for Worst Actor (as his character Norbit), Worst Supporting Actor (as Mr. Wong), Worst Supporting Actress (as Rasputia) and Worst Screen Couple. Could Murphy follow up last year's Oscar nomination with a sweep of acting Razzies? Read more...
In some alternate universe, movie fans might be watching Christopher Walken as Han Solo, Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones, Eddie Murphy in "Ghostbusters" and Steve McQueen in "The Bodyguard." Recently, I went digging for a few more of these "What if?" Hollywood near-casting tales, and I dug up a few doozies like this: Nicolas Cage was almost in "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix"?
"Movies I may have done, but didn't do," the "National Treasure" leading man repeated recently, when I asked about some of the many roles (including Superman) that he nearly landed in his two decades at the top of the Hollywood food chain. "Yeah, there was a couple of movies that I was offered, but I had good reasons, so I couldn't do it." Read more...

"You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge!" Those were the last words we heard from Al Capone in Brian DePalma's insanely entertaining "The Untouchables" some twenty years ago. Well, just because Elliot Ness put Al behind bars to the swelling score of Ennio Morricone so long ago, the battle for Chicago has just begun.
Brian DePalma himself told me last week that "The Untouchables: Capone Rising" is likely to be his next film. This prequel will detail in DePalma's words, "[Jimmy Malone]'s relationship with Capone during Capone's rise." Portraying the former character that earned Sean Connery an Oscar is Gerard Butler, Deplama confirmed. "Gerry is still with us," he said.
The young Capone, however, remains uncast. Nicolas Cage was attached but is no longer on board. DePalma is on the lookout, though. What does the new Capone need? "You've got to have that street animal sexuality," he said. Read more...
